It was expected at Yokohama that when the Pelorus arrived in Japan the Pearl would go to Hongkong. The Encounter and Scout have been nearly five years in commission, and the officers and crews of those sh!ps expect they will soon be sent home to be paid off. The Rattler is at Nagasaki, and the Barossa, all well, at Yoko hama. The Hesper arrived there early in November. She had been terribly knocked about, having lost jib-boom, boats, bulwarks, ece., in a hurricane. A large quantity of stores and provisions is spoilt. The Hesper is considered unfit to do duty as a Government transport. Yesterday a naval court-martial, composed of Captain W. K. Hall, C.B„ Cumberland, 70, guardship of the Chatham Steam Reserve, President; Commander the Hon. G. D. Keane, Cumberland ; Commander R. Studdert, Wellesley, 72; Commander T. L. Gaussen, Formidable, 84; and Com mander A. Barrow, Cumberland, assembled on board the Formidable, 84, Capt. S. Fulford, flagship of Admiral of the Blue Sir G. R. Lambert, K.C.8., naval Commander-in- Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Lieut. William Walsh, commander, and the surviving officers and crew of her Ma -1 jesty's gunboat Lively, 2, 60 horse power, tender to the Cornwallis, 60, 200 horse power, Capt. J. N. Strange, on the charge of having lost that vessel among the shoals on the north coast of the Netherlands, east of the island of Schier monnick Oog on the morning of the 21st of December last, during a violent hurricane. The Lively was engaged at the time in searching for a fleet of fishing-boats and other craft, which were reported missing between the Doggerbank and the island of Heligoland. Mr. G. H. Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Rochester, solicitors to the Admiralty, officiated as Deputy-Judge-Advocate, and conducted the investigation. Lieut. Walsh was assisted in his defence by Staff-Commander H. T. Ellis, of the Corn wallis. The witnesses examined by the Court were Lieut.- Commander W. Walsh, who was in charge of the Lively at the time she was lost, Mr. F. Bush, engineer, Mr. C. Cox, gunner, together with the quartermaster and car penter. From their evidence it appeared that the Lively left Berwick on the 19th of December with instructions to cruise in the German Ocean between the Dogger bank and the island of Heligoland, with the view of assisting any of the fishing boats which were then known to be at sea, and some of which appeared to have been lost. On the night of the 21st of December, when in lat 54 26, long. 5 47, the Lively encountered a fearful gale, which continued with unabated fury during the whole of that and the following day. In spite of the untiring exertions of the officers and crew, the vessel became altogether unmanageable. Her foremast was carded away and hung over her side—there was about four feet of water in her hold, which extin guished her fires and prevented the working of her engines. During the height of the gale Mr. Home. the assistant engineer, was washed overboard and drowned, and the pilot who had charge of the ship was found dead on the deck from exposure, cold, and fatigue. The gunboat being at the mercy of the waves was driven on shore on the Belgian coast, the officers and crew being providentially rescued by some fishing smacks, the men in which had heard their signal distress guns. Nearly everything on board the Lively was lost, and a day or two afterwards the vessel went to pieces. During the whole of the trying period the officers and crew appeared to have behaved in the most praise worthy manner. At the close of the case for the prosecu tion the Court adjourned for an hour to enable Lieutenant Walsh to prepare his defence, which was read by the De puty-Judge Advocate. The defence was a recapitulation of the evidence given by the witnesses for the prosecution, and at the close the court was cleared, the members re maining in deliberation about an hour. On the court being opened, the Deputy Judge Advocate read the finding, fully and honourably acquitting Lieut. Walsh and the officers and crew, and stating its opinion that the Lively was lost through the fearful gale which prevailed, she being in her right course at the time. The Court further stated that Lieut. Walsh had done everything in his power to save the ship. Capt. Hall, in handing Lieut. Walsh his sword, said he did so with the greatest pleasure, the Court believing that he, together with the officers and the whole crew, had behaved as British seamen on the trying occasion. The Megrera, screw troopship, Commander Edward Mad den, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from the West Indies with the 7th brigade of Royal Artillery, and military and naval invalids and passengers. Those on board belonging to the 7th brigade consisted of Brevet •Major G, L. Chandler, Lieuts, Little and Davis, 6 sergeants, 2 trumpe ters, 7 corporals, 69 gunners, 6 women, and 11 children. There were besides on board one man belonging to the let battalion 14th Regiment, one man (Corps of Armourers), wife and child, 13 invalid soldiers, 4 women, and S children from various regiments in military charge of Lieutenant Rutherford of the 2d battalion 21st Regiment, and in medical charge of Staff Assistant• Surgeon Ferguson. Capt. Mawe, 2 , 1 West India Regiment, came home as pas senger on leave. The officers' wives on board were Mr. Chandler and infant, Mrs. Ferguson and two children, and Mrs. Mawe. The military invalids were transferred, from the Megrera yesterday immediately after her arrival at Spithead, to the Royal Military Hospital at Netley. A few naval invalids who also arrived in the ship were transferred to her Majesty's ship Victory and the Royal Naval Hospital at Hasler. The 7th Brigade of Royal Artillery will dis embark this morning and march into quarters in the new fort at Broekhurst, one of the recently constructed line of detached forts in advance of Gosport. The Megrera sailed from Barbadoes Dec. 14, 1863, and has experienced a suc cession of heavy gales from S.W. to N.E. She was corn • pelled to call at Vigo to coal, and she sailed thence on the 9th inst. She sailed from Plymouth on her outward voyage on May '3O, 1863, and since that time has steamed 14,328 and sailed 9,078 miles, having been engaged in the relief of troops stationed at the different stations in the West Indies and on the West Coast of Africa. At Demerara she was detained some time in repairing her air pump cover. She will be docked and refitted before again leaving England. The ships of war on the Australian station at the dates of the last advices were the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sullivan; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jenkins ; the Eclipse, 4, Capt. Mayne ; the Curacoa, 23, Commodore Wiseman ; and the Esk, 21, Capt. Hamilton. All these ships were at New Zealand. PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. that in following the course of the river from 5 deg, south latitude to 3 deg. north latitude, where they were met by Consul Petherick'a party—a distance of at ?east 500 geogra phical miles—they had done quite enough to make their names famous, he contended they had left some things un done which were essential to the full success of their expe dition. They had not followed the river from its exit from Nyanza along its whole course, but had left at least 200 miles of it unexplered. In this unexplored portion there was a fall of upwards of I,oooft. in the level of the river, which had yet to be explained. Dr. Duke also remarked on the phenomenon recorded by Captain Speke, that in tra velling from the Kuruma Falls to Math they hed " beaten the stream ;" and though he did not expressly dissent from the explanation that the Lake Luta Nzigi acts as a great back--water to the river, he believed it to be a poia which required still further investigation. While agreeing with Captain Speke that the southern extremity of Lake Nyanza is the " top-head" of the Nile, Dr. Beke reiterated his denial that the lake was the source of the river, and expressed a strong conviction that in the snowy range of Alps on the east side of die lake would before long be found the true fountains of the Nile, or at least such of them as form the principal stream which runs into and through Nyanza. This side of the lake, he pointed out, had been left totally unexplored by Captain Speke. In conclusion, Dr. Beke announced that so dissati'fied was he with the results of the last two expeditions, and so certain was he of the truth of his own theory, that he intended to undertake an expedition in person which should set the question at rest for ever, and a public subscription would be opened for this purpose. To Signor Miani, Mr. B aker, Baron von Henglin, and Madame Tinne might safely be left the task of exploring the river north of the equator, and he should therefore confine his labours entirely to the regions south of the equator, and he felt convinced that one result of his success would be to throw open to British commerce the largest and most important district of Eastern Africa. M. Chevalier on Free Trade in England and France, At the sitting of the French Legislative Body, on Saturday, M. Chevalier opposed the protec tionist amendment on that part of the Address which affirms boldly that France is now able, by her own exertions and sacrifices, to successfully re sist foreig❑ competition. He said : When I, yesterday, read in the Moniteur that the receipts of the indirect taxes for the past year exceeded those of 1861 by 144 millions, and those of 1862 by 53 millions, I certainly did not expect to hear the same day that the . . treaty of commerce with England was ruining our menu- I factures,;our merchant navy, our agriculture, and our com merce. A people able to pay such considerable sums in voluntary taxes, instead of being almost ruined, must be in a high state of prosperity. M. Pouyer-Querties said that our exports had declined since the treaty of commerce, whilst those of England had increased 500 millions. In the first eleven months of 1863 our exports amounted to 2,230 millions. They were 1,975 millions in 1862, and 1,700 mil lions in 1861. The difference in our favour was therefore 550 millions between 1863 and 1861, and 270 millions between 1863 and 1862, notwithstanding the war in America. M. Pouyer- Quertier compares these figures with those of 1859, the last year of protection, when our exports were 2,266 mil lions, but from this total we must deduct 151 millions for corn. Nor is that all. In 1861 our trade with America suffered greatly; from 368 millions in 1859 it fell to 88 mil lions. To make the comparison fairly we must strike off 200 millions from 1859, otherwise we should take no account of the effect produced on our manufactures by the American war. Then again the returns for 1863 only include eleven months, and must be increased in proportion. After making these allowances, it will be seen that our exports have in creased considerably. On a fair calculation, it is evident that we gained 700 millions at least since the treaty of com merce. It has has been said that France is impoverished by being compelled to export specie in payment for foreign produce. This is a mere repetition of the exploded fallacy of the balance of trade. Wanting cotton, we are obliged to get it from Egypt, Turkey, and India, countries which will only take specie, and we gain by the exchange, as it enables our operatives to live, and promotes trade at home. (Hear, hear.) We are not so badly off as was asserted yesterday. Look also at other industries. Our coalmines now produce 10 millions of tons yearly, which they never did before. The ironmasters too have made great efforts. The Duke de Manlier —And suffered considerable losses. M. Chevalier—l do not admit that any trade is long continued at a great loss. Certain industries may be in a suffering state; I deplore the fact, but, in a great country, we must take things on the whole. Thanks to great efforts and improved processes, the iron manufacture has increased 40 per cent since the treaty of commerce. The question lies between those who would maintain and those who would suppress the treaty of commerce. As to the woollen manufacture, the explanation given yesterday is inadmissible. Two years ago the representative of Roubaix repeated here the lamentations of the chambers „of com merce! But what has happened since ? Never has Roubaix enjoyed such prosperity as at present. We are told that this prosperity is owing solely to the scarcity of cotton. On this head I reply that we now export woollens to the value of 100 millions more than in 1859, which shows that we are fully able to compete with England in that branch also. With regard to cotton goods I have to remark that England has sent us one half less this year than last. Our markets are, therefore, not overwhelmed with English products. I will show you what sacrifices the country makes under the protective system. The other day we heard great lamenta tions about the expense of the Mexican expedition. Well I if France economised only one half of the mysterious bounty which she pays in a year to protected industries, it would cover the cost of the war in Mexico. I will ex plain my meaning. Previously to the treaty of commerce, the importation of cottons and woollens was prohibited, and when the treaty was under consideration, the manu facturers of those goods, as well as the ironmasters, de clared that they could not live without a protective duty of 30 per cent. Let us see what that costs the country. The yearly production of cotton goods is estimated at 800 millions, and 30 per cent on that sum is 240 millions. Woollen manufactures amount to 900 millions, and a pro tective duty of 30 per cent. on that sum comes to 270 millions. So that on these two branches alone protection cost above 500 millions. The.duties have since been re duced to 10 per cent., and that sum levied on 1,000 millions of woollen goods now produced amounts to 100 millions. I say nothing of cotton under present circumstances. If to this 100 millions we add the sums paid on iron and other pro ducts, it will be seen that protection now costs France at least 300 millions a year. M. Pouyer-Quertier—That is not correct. M. Chevalier—lf you say 100 millions, that is still too much. The treaty of commerce has reduced the occult bounties paid under prohibition by very considerable sums) which have been expended in the consumption of other articles to the great increase of the general well-being. To the relief thus occasioned, I attribute the greater part of our increased revenue. I now turn to another subject, and I regret that our eminent colleague M. Thiers, should be leaving the Chamber, as what I am about to say will, I believe, interest him. [M. Thiers, who had risen to go ont, immediately sat down near the speaker.] The amendment, continued the hon. gentleman, has received considerable support by the signature of our illustrious colleague, of whom I shall never speak but with the greatest respect. Most of those who have attached their names to it are men who pretend to guide us in the way of liberty, in which they think we are behindhand, and nevertheless in my opinion the amendment is an attack on liberty and on pro perty. (Exclamations on several benches.) Our eminent colleague has pointed out the conditions necessary to con stitute liberty in free countries, but he has forgotten the most important of all, and one inscribed among the great principles of 'B9—liberty of labour. It is one which pre sents no danger, for it requires order and security. Eng land is every day held up to us as an example : why not, therefore, follow that country as regards freedom of com• merce and labour ? No branch of manufacture is there protected ; the customs' tariff of England is, since 1860, the most simple of all, as it is contained on a single sheet of paper, whilst our fills a volume. The former bears on the following articles —Chicory, chocolate, coffee, corn, currants, figs, pepper, raisins, and prunes; spirits of different kind s , raw and refined sugar, molasses, tea, tobacco, wine, and timber. In those articles , w hi c h produce a sum of 600 mil lion of francs, there is not a single branch of manufacture protected. A Voice—The English do not require protection. M. Chevalier —That is more easily said than proved. I have resided in that country a long time, and I can assure you that 25 years were required for it to achieve commer cial liberty. The silk manufacturers in England long de manded protection against ours, but they at length found that competition would lead to great improvement in their ar ti c les, and they gave up their opposition. I have said that the amendment is an attack on property, and I will endea vour to prove it. The suppression of the sliding scale was voted, and very properly. • M. Thiers—No. That I deny. M. Chevalier—Our agriculturists aro no longer protected, but when they require to purchase farming implements they must pay a duty, and they ar3 in that manner attacked in their property. Igo further, and say that Franco has no need of protection. She has 38,000,000 of inhabitants, of whom 20,000,0000 aro agriculturists, who do not ask to be protected, and there are 8,000,000 of workmen who do not ask for it. There are moreover 8,000,000 of persons devoted to the liberal arts, physicians, advocates, Sce., who ask for nothing except that they may not have to pay dear for what they want. Ask the remaining 2,000,000 1 of men employed in large manufactories whether they stand in need of protection, and they will reply in the BEAUTIFUL FOR EVER.

Mr. W.

He then moved that the meeting be adjourned to the 3d of February next. . The Motion was adopted, and tho meeting adjourned ac cordingly. KINGSBRIDGE. An influential meeting was held at the Town-hall, Kings bridge (South Devon) on Tuesday, the - Earl of Devon in the chair, to adopt measures with reference to a proposed railway from the South Devon Railway to that town.

Mr. W. R. ILBERT, in seconding the resolution, said he should take shares to the amount of £5OO. The motion was carried. Mr. W. B. FORTESCUE moved a resolution approving the proposed railway to connect Kingsbridge with the South Brent station of the South Devon Railway, stating that it deserved the support of the district, as being the shortest and moat feasible route.

Furman; it was unanimously resolved that the proposed line, via Staverton, would be the most beneficial for the town of Buekfastleigh, and its neighbourhood; and, on the motion of Mr. J. Symons, seconded by Mr. Kierman, a re solution was passed pledging the meeting to support the proposed line. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN.

Dr. Beke on the Sources of the Nile. " The quarrels of authors," which furnished the elder Disraeli with materials for four amusing volumes, have be come silent in our day, or at least they are waged with so much decorum as to have lost the piquancy which formerly attracted public interest. The quarrels of " travellers" — an almost equally irritabile genus—seem to be taking their place. An explorer of unknown regions now-a-days, after returning in safety from the multitudinous perils of flood and field, has scarcely time to receive the congratulations of his friends and admirers before he is called on to face a host of assailants who dispute the originality of his projects and the accuracy of his conclusions, and it will often go hard with him if his literary and dialectic skill do not correspond to the physical courage and endurance and the fertility of re source, which, perhaps, have been the chief causes of his success. Our latest African travellers, whose exploits have reflected so much glory on their country, are no exception to the general lot. All who take an interest in these sub jects are aware that the claim of Captain Speke and Captain Grant to have solved the geographical mystory.of ages has been warmly challenged, and among the first to deny they had discovered the true source of the Nile was Dr. Beke, himself a Nile explorer of long date and considerable expe rience. Last night the learned doctor explained his views at length in a lecture delivered before a crowded audience in the theatre of the London Institution. Mr. T. Baring, M,P., the president of the institution, was in the chair, and among those present were the hon. sec.. Mr. Tite, ALP., Mr. Gassiot, F.R, S., Dr. A. Smee, and the Rev. T. Burney. Dr. Beke,:at the outset, emphatically asserted that Captain Speke and his companions had not hit upon the true head of the Nile, and while allowing them a certain amount of success in tracing the course of the river northwards, claimed to have pointed out many years ago the region in which the river takes its rise. As most people are aware, Captain Speke's theory is that the Nile flows from the northern end of the Victoria Nyanza, but Dr. Beke will no more admit this than that the river Rhone has its source in the Lake of Geneva, because it happens to flow through it. The true " Niliaci fontes," Dr. Beke maintains, are to be found in the Mountains of the Moon, which, basing himself on the cele brated passage of Ptolemy, he contends form a meridional and not an equatorial, range. Eighteen years ago Dr. Bete said he had commmunicated to the Royal Geographical So ciety a paper on the Nile and its tributaries, in which he had developed this theory ; but unfortunately the expedition sent out to verify it by actual observation had failed, from causes which had never been adequately explained. These Mountains of the Moon, Dr. Beke, in the map which ho exhibited in the room, makes to run from north to south, parallel, but at some distance from the eastern coast, and the mountains laid down in Capt. Speke's map at the north end of Lake Tyganyika ho declared have no existence whatever except on paper. By the removal of this range the learned doctor would include Lake Taganyika within the limitsof the basin of the Nile, and even allow it to contribute to t!s s treams. Without the aid of maps it is imposs ible to explain fully the doctor's hypothesis ; but if thos e exhibited last n ight were correctly drawn, the basin of the:Nile as he ima gined and drew it in 1849 corresponds very closely with the limits defined by the expedition of Burto n and Spek . e in 1859.

Lord EDWARD HOWARD presided on Tuesday n ght over a large social meeting of Roman Catholics, held in t hoTov:n Hall, Birmingham. His lorthhip was supported by the. Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, Roman Catholic iliahop of Birmingham ; the Right Ea, Dr. Amherst, B Whop of Northampton, and other leading Catholics of the fidtand district. After some introductory /Titlarks, the Pt esidt_tt went on to say—As we are here in the centre of one of the largest Catholic districts in England, I wish to say a few words to you—not, however, that I have any thing v , Iry portant to say—about our potition as Catholics at fae pre sent time in the country. (hear, and applause.) I &are say you, occupied as you are from morning till evening, do not consider the struggles which Catholicity has before now had in this district as in th.! rest of England. l am not going to dwell upon them ; they are things which are gone by ; but we ought n, , t entirely to forget, in the happier d a y s in which we live, the position in which men were in former times, especially when we remember that we are in the im mediate vicinity of where that excellent man. that model of a bishop, Dr. Milner, lived—(applause)—that also you have _ . that excellent and old-established Catholic institwion, iho college at Ascott--(applause)—from which so many well educated men and so many earnest and emargetio priests have gone forth to minister to the wants of the Catholic body. When I remember that excellent .school which is now growing up at Egbastou, and wLen I remember also that Mr. Pugin has done so much in Nailing - ham for Catholic art with the help of the energy and talent which he found here, and by which his ideas were carried out — when I remember that the firm of Hardman, and others, while second to none in charity, have been so prominent, so earnest, and so able, that they have changed the system of church building and church decoration—(applause)—l cannot but call your attention to such striking facts. But what is it we are now ? Whom have I the honour of seeing before me? Here is the representation—and the very large representation—of the very large Catholic body of this town.. Now I have the great pleasure of seeing before me as happy. looking, as industrious-looking, as well-to-do-looking, a number of persons as my eyes have ever seen. It looks as if you were happy, as if you were well-contented, as if you had not much to complain of in this town. Unfortunately, even in these days, there prevails a good deal of feeling against the Catholic religion. I am not going to dwell upon it, and I only speak of it for the purpose of regretting it ; _ . but I believe that in the manufacturing towns, and in Bir- mingham especially, the Catholics fiud more consideration and more kindness from those of other religious than they do in almost any other place. (Applause.) I think I have read in our Catholic papers about the death of a venerated . . man who was in his lifetime a towneouneillor ofßirmingham, and I think I have also read in the papers of some one's death very recently who was a member of the corporation of Bir- mingham. I believe that in no town are the Catholic clergy so freely allowed access to the charitable institutions as in Birmingham. (Applause.) If anything can commend itself to the Catholic heart, that is the thing. You will observe that it is not any preference, not any favour, that Catholics want. When they ask for facilities in such matters it is simply for the clergyman to administer to the dying or the sick members of his flock that consolation which he alone can administer in times of affliction and distress. (cheers.) You have all these things here. It is true that the Catholic body throughout the rest of England wish to see some other things accomplished. Whether they will get them accom plished or not I don't know. There is a good deal of preju dice yet to be overcome. Persons imagine that we wish for these facilities through other motives than those by which we are really actuated ; but this I will ventur° to say—that the more facility there is given the priest to enter the work house or the prison the greater facility will the constituted authorities find in keeping peace and order among those who are committed to their care. (Applause.) It is not the first time that I have had to speak on these matters, and I have invariably said, "You may depend upon it that the more you allow the Catholic clergyman to be brought into connection with the Catholic criminal or the Catholic pau per the more easy will it bo to reform the one and soothe and comfort the other, and keep order among all." (Ap plause.) I trust that before long the small glimmering of liberality which has been shown by some counties in respect to the admission of Catholic priests into the prison for the purpose of visiting the Catholic prisoners will be de veloped, and that the inja6tiee which Catholics now expe rience in that respect will be done away with. (Applause). I shall not intrude upon your time by going into the pan s ticulars of this question, but there are one or two matters connected with it which are not, but which ought to be, generally known. Are you aware that if a Catholic crimi nal in the prismi, wishing to keep hi; religion, which of course is the only means of reforming him, says he does not wish to go to the prison chapel, he is, being in coria— (pence of that locked up in his cell, subjected to a month's imprisonment more in the year then Li. Protestant prisoner who attends morning and evening prr:.-er ae,l g( ..5 to the chapel on Sundays? Again, it is said that the C.l - prisoners do not wish to see their priests ; they do not ask for them. Well, the reason of that we have over end over again repeated, and I shall confine myself here simply to saying that of course a poor man of that kind who goes to prison would be the last to like to see the priest at first ; he would be most ashamed; but if there is one man on the face of the earth able to reformhim it is his priest. (Applause.) We all know that if we have respect for a man and have in jured either him or what he holds to be good and holy, that is the last person we wish at a certain time to be brought into contact with. The Protestant chaplain is obliged to sae all the Protestant prisoners. The Catholic chaplain ought to have the same facilities, and that shamefacedness of the Ca tholic prisoner, which is to the man's honour, ought not to , be turned against him, nor the only chance of reform taken away from him by the assertion that he Is giving up his re ligion when we all know it is not so. I hope sincerely that persons will be brought to a better consideration of the question. I have, perhaps, gone into this matter too !orig. I shall only once more advert to your local affairs. You are met here to-night in the most laudable manner to encourage the schools of this district. (Hear.) What a blessing it is to see so much enthusiasm about your schools ? All your schools are, I understand, managed by one committee, and this no doubt is the cause of unity of feeling among you, and makes you all feel an enthusiasm about your schools which may not be felt in other places where each school is con fined to a small sphere, and there is nothii)g to connect with any but one small neighbourhood. There seems to be a general feeling of pride among you about your schools, and. an eagerness to support them, and this it is to a great ex tent that has brought you here to-night. You all of you know, and I am not going to enlarge upon the importance of education. You know it is education which must give the young a chance of growing up to be good and orful members of society, and which must assist them to conti.'aue so, and to keep them out of the prison and the workhouse,. and thus prevent all these obstacles which wee w hucate ave to contend with. While everybody e l s e is being d, Catholics must not hang back. We must endeavour to hold our own. I want no more than that; but I want to see the Catholic body not inferior to other bodies of men. (Cheers.) I want to see them have their proper place in society. I want to see them—not by gambling or speculation or any. thing of that sort—get their own place in society, and then, if they do that, they will not only have the means of sup porting themselves and their families in honour and credit, but will be able to support their churches and chapels, their schools, and the poorer members of their society. This is what we all of us ought to have at heart. It is good for each o f us to wish for the time, and to endeavour to bring it about, when none of the poor Catholics of Eneland ' of w h o m there are so m any, s h ould be without their chapel and their school. (Applause.) I wish you to remember this —that as Catholics, whether as the large body you form in this large town or as individuals, the eyes of many are upon you, and that y ou s h ould always behave yourse lf w ith a view to do honour to the religion in which you have been nurtured. If you do that y o u will do much to dispel pre judice ; but am sure you must all of you feel that if Catho lics are seen to appear much at the police offices, if they are brought up as drunk and disorderly, if they are seen to be spendthrifts, dishonour is thrown upon the whole body, and people on the lookout to abuse us say that those who belong to the Catholic religion are always in broils and troubles. Let us feel that as we walk along the streets we walk along as belonging to the Catholic religion, and let us feel that when we are respected members of society the Catholic) religion is then respected through us. (Applause.) I need only further remark that, while we as Catholics are proud. of our religion, and do all we can to advance it among the members of our own flock, we ought always to behave with the most perfect friendship and kindness to those who do not agree with us. (Hear, hear.) While wo avoid their errors and do not agree with them in religious matters, there will be often many other matters in which we may agree with them, and in which we may always be friends, and thus contribute to the great Christian benefit of a well-organised community. (Applarve.) As we rosrct our own feelings, let us always respect the feelings of others. That is likely to conciliate and obtain for us those yet drc mining fhings which the Catholic body s o very much L - sire to obtain. After a few further observations the noble lord resumed his seat, and was heartily applauded. THE GREAT EASTERN.—Another suit in the Court of Admiralty has been commenced egainst the Great Eastern.
